Further, it has been determined that SIG SAUER responded quickly and comprehensively to a matter that focused on the negligent handling of a firearm — not a problem with the design or function of the pistol, which has always exceeded all safety standards.
Bravura use of the passive voice.

Incident was pre-upgrade, apparently

"A man's character is his fate."
Not defending Sig, or their handling of the drop safety issue, but word is that this guy was "Mexican Carrying" his 320. It spontaneously discharged when he shoved it into his pants. Unfortunately, they've made themselves a target for these claims. Who knows what happened in the SEPTA incident....but the Sig guys were pretty confident that the gun didn't just go off. Hard to know, cause the company did "shoot themselves in the foot" metaphorically speaking.
I wonder if they were already pissed about the fact that they had to send the guns back during the "voluntary upgrade" and they were just looking for an excuse to justify dumping them. It could also be that the person/people that were the driving force behind adopting them moved on, whether that was a chief or firearms instructors or whoever. I'm no sig fan and would much prefer to carry a Glock but even then, their reaction seems a bit hasty.

I have absolutely no idea what happened. I am confident, that if 320 pistols are firing themselves, this won’t be the only one.
The speed of this investigation seems reminiscent of one of Putin’s aircraft accident investigations, where he issues a probable cause before the fire is fully extinguished at the accident site.

A lawsuit has been filed against a firearms manufacturer after a Horry County man claims his handgun discharged and the bullet hit him in the leg while at a Grand Strand Chick-fil-A.

That's my thought as well (because that's how I personally view the four P320's I have sitting on the very back shelf of my back room safe).
I should have known better after getting three different "classics" (P229's and a M11A1) that all required wildly different custom Dawson front sights to be even close to zero to stay away from newish Sigs...
